Lyrics:
Slow burn
Wake up and I lean into the slow burn
I been getting older while the world turns And it don't wait
So I
Smoke first
Then I need my coffee with the sweetener Put a couple records on the speakers
I never change
So they say
Slow and steady wins the race So I wait
But I don’t know
I never
Stop and smell the roses Moments go unnoticed Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Same doors that I open One day Imma close them Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Wish I
Met the perfect person at the right time Never worked a 40 just to get by
but I forget
At least I
Drove a little faster thru the green lights Got a little drunk and spoke my own mind No regrets
So they say
Slow and steady wins the race So I wait
But I don’t know
I never

 Stop and smell the roses Moments go unnoticed Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Same doors that I open One day Imma close them Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
I never
Stop and smell the roses Moments go unnoticed Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Same doors that I open One day Imma close them Moving through the motions Like a late bloomer
Like a late bloomer

Late Bloomer

She told me she’s been feeling down a lot these days
And summer’s supposed to be for living without a care 
But she’s carrying a lot now 
Mm mm 

And she thinks that her karma got switched around
Like maybe she got his instead of hers 
‘Cause every other day she’s getting burned
In the summer 

Ooo oo I know it when she calls 
Ooo oo like reading sharpie on a bathroom wall 

Wide awake and sleep walking
Going through all the motions 
But she don’t even know who she is anymore 
She don’t even know who she is 

He told me he feels overwhelmed a lot on most days
And Friday’s supposed to be the day that it gets better
But the boulevard is empty 
It’s a bummer 

And his life is parallel to some movie he watched in August
He forgot the name but he’ll remember if he sleeps on it 
‘Cause the good comes back around
He’s waiting for that now 

Wide awake and sleep walking
Going through all the motions 
But she don’t even know who she is anymore 
She don’t even know who she is 

Time will creep up and speak softly
Another day ‘nother blue morning 
But she don’t even know who she is anymore 
She don’t even know who she is

She Dont Even Know

“We both of grown up differently”
In my living room that’s what she said to me
And we’ve got opposite beliefs 
So we make sure to pick our words carefully 

We both get so selfish 
I wish I could help it  
But the way you look at me
makes me feel like I can move those mountains 
The ones across town and after we could fall asleep 

Underneath the desert sky lies her and I
Underneath the desert sky is where we’d hide

No I didn’t plan for this 
But when we met it felt as i we never left 
It’s our families we miss 
but in each other’s arms it hurts a little less

We both get so lonely 
She said won’t you hold me 
I wish I could find a way 
And tell you bout’ how all this heat around us 
makes me feel so anxious 
every time you speak to me  

Underneath the desert sky lies her and I
Underneath the desert sky is where we’d hide

Underneath the desert sky lies her and I
Underneath the desert sky is where we’d hide

I’m so afraid I’ll break her heart 
The feelings always seem to fade when we’re apart
I hope she never hears this song 
Cuz then she’ll start to think I planned it all along 

She’s says won’t you hold me 
Only when she’s lonely 
I wish I could walk away 
But every time I look into your eyes 
I never feel surprised just 
By how hard you cling to me 
Underneath the desert sky

But Underneath the desert sky lies her and I
Cuz Underneath the desert sky is where we’d hide

Desert Sky

Joseph Tilley is an artist/producer/songwriter originally from Central Arkansas, now in L.A. Growing up, he always loved making music on his Grandma's iPad in GarageBand. He taught himself how to record and produce music with tools and gear all handed down through friends. Playing drums in his High School Band, teaching himself guitar and piano, and playing music in the church as a teenager and young adult helped him get a good sense for playing live with others and growing his musical abilities. 



After Tilley's cover band parted ways, he realized he could start writing songs and releasing them himself. Joseph strives to invoke the same emotion in others that he feels when he hears the music he loves. 



Tilley's new music incorporates darker trap drums, dreamy synths, and strong melodies. He takes inspiration from RnB when writing melodies and chords. 



As a writer and producer, Joseph has amassed over 11 million streams for his work with indie-pop darling Emilee; he also landed his first #1 album in Asia for his writing and production on Will Pan's "Mr. R&Beats" album.
